Mémoire et oubli post-apocalyptiques dans La Possibilité d’une île de Michel Houellebecq et Le Dernier homme de Margaret Atwood

This contribution analyzes the role of memory and oblivion in the novels The Possibility of an Island by Michel Houellebecq and Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood. In both of them, these two notions play an important role in the constitution of the identity of the major characters after the collapse of civilization and during the foundation of a new humanity.
